As we owned a gallery in Del Mar for 10 years,
the Valerie E. Wong Gallery, we figured we knew
enough about it to refer some folks.

Michael's
recent visit- 2.3.'03
Interested in mouth watering food combined with a cozy yet
friendly atmosphere right here in San Diego? After 40
trips around the world creating museum award winning images
I’ve learned a bit about food. So the next time you visit
my wife’s gallery here at the Del Mar Plaza to see the
latest work the Lord has blessed my eye with remember this
suggestion. Go to Sbicca. It's catty-corner from us on
15th St. in old Del Mar.
The friendly owners, Dan and Susan Sbicca, are personal
friends of ours. Valerie and I have brought so many of our
collectors here we've stopped counting. One couple, Michael
and Karen Nishimura, came back twice within the week with
their friends. That's impressed! It's that good though.
Last night we had the tenderest Filet Mignon, covered with a
mountain of shoe string potatoes, perfectly crunchy, with a
side of ‘steamed but crisp’ veggies. That was right after
the spicy crab cakes and the nut, cheese and raisin covered
arugula salad and before a dessert too good for you taste
buds to hear right now. And although we split the entire
meal we could not finish it all! That’s value for your
bingo-bucks.
Their new
restaurant, called Meritage,
just opened on the Old Coast Hwy in Encinitas. Immediately
popular- I'd get reservations no matter the night. |

Seewald's other
favorite restaurant is also in Del Mar! Kipp and Lisa
Downing, own the Pacifica Del Mar Restaurant in the Del Mar Plaza, just
above
the Valerie E. Wong Gallery, are also new collectors of Seewald's art.
Here, everything is prepared from scratch,
and
the restaurant is rated 'top 4'
in San Diego County.
(Besides adding a few Seewald's to their home, they
just re-decorated the restaurant with his gorgeous work.)
"Personally, I rate it #1, but
then again I'm biased.... they collect my work!" ms
This is the 'Mustard Bar', the first part of
the Restaurant you see when you enter. Note the beautiful ocean aquarium
located a little further back.
Kipp's second location is up in Palm
Desert, Calif. (next to Palm Springs).
A sample menu follows this photo of the
Pacifica Breeze Cafe. Located just above it is the actual restaurant, which you can
just see the umbrellas sprouting from it's roof.
We hosted a sit down dinner party here recently, and
here was the Dinner Menu.

Then again, there is a hidden shop well worth your visit...
The Frustrated Cowboy
Owned and operated by more Seewald art collectors, David and
Carol Goodell,
the friendliest folks you'll find in Del Mar.
The shop has anything cowboyish- hats, boots, art, memorabilia, etc..
A fun place to visit. 
Here is their description of their store:
Howdy!
Our store is dedicated to the frustrated cowboy in all of us. We've got
everything you need to turn your home or office into your very own home on the
range!
We think you'll
really like our Pendleton goods, Golden Gate cowboy hats, homewares, picture
frames and unique mirrors that fit your home, ranch, or cabin. Give them as
gifts, or keep 'em for yourself!
We also have a
full line of Michael Garman cowboy and Native American statues, prints by Bev
Doolittle and a whole bunch of local artists, not to mention wearable art:
handpainted T-shirts and denim jackets -- come on in, and take home a little bit
of the ol' West.
Meanwhile, if you
can't make it in, browse our online catalog and order by phone, fax or email!
